Montblanc 300 - Brushed steel - simple, and slim

[Riffboy]

Hi there!

 

I'm new here and want to chat about my first fountain pen that I got as a gift long ago.

 

It's a Montblanc fountain pen from ca 1984-85. It's in brushed steel, very slim and

simple and is marked very subtly with "300" on the rim of the cap.

 

Can anyone tell me more about it, please?!

 

Is there a database with pictures and history etc where I could find this pen, perhaps?.

Just want to know more about it.

 

Thank you.

Hi Riffboy,

 

Welcome to FPN.

 

Per "Collectible Stars", your pen is a Montblanc 300 in steel. It was produced between 1976-1979 and was for export only. A hard to find pen.

Thanks. That was really interesting news!

So, does anyone know how much it is worth - approx?

(It is in fully working order and is in excellent condition.)

If its not for that star on the cap, I'd call it a hero pen, worth $2.

A very hard to find beginners level pen, made only for export in steel and black or steel and blue, market value about $100.- Both of mine write perfectly smooth. If you don't like it, I'm sure there are lots of collectors out there looking for one.

I like mine, too!
